eastcoast 4,116 Posted October 24, 2021 Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 People dismiss a bad mouth as being a fault as a thing coming from the show world not the working dog world. Understandable. A good terrier with a bad mouth will not be too hindered in his work because of it. But, how many have seen an undershot fox or badger? I mention badger from an historical point as it was relevant when the breed standards where written. The terrier must be as far as possible physically capable of meeting his opponent underground. The only reason that it is fault is that terriers with bad mouths are more prone to losing teeth, or were when they worked in a different way that is allowed by law today. Having teeth being an important attribute of a working terrier. 2 Quote Link to post

No one intentionally breeds faults some of the bed rock in terms of breeding the chocolate black dogs had an undershot jaw. all of the borders I’ve seen that actually work , not pissing about with ferrets or ratting , working terriers had poor mouths but were dug to . from a foxing point of view , the top pallet seems , in my view to be open to more punishment. just my opinion ….

He was from AC kennels I believe . the point being it’s the drive and working ability first ….. conformation second …. In my view anyway ATB … Tony 1 Quote Link to post
